Thinking Ahead
Romney and friends, one step further along. Bipartisanship at its finest. Roush’s litany of abuses. Plus more.
(Page 3 of 3)
4. No cars in cities. The market will take care of this. There will be no supply of oil to run our cars in the not too distant future. But who needs an alternative energy policy?
5. Freedom of speech will be restricted. Yea, I’m the leading agent in the Fairness Doctrine. My assignment is TAS.
6. Medical care will skyrocket. Will? Where have you been the past few years? When insurance and pharmaceutical profits are the central focus of health care policy, you get what we already have — skyrocketing costs.
7. Passports. No need to do this. Your privacy has already been compromised by the current administration.
8. and 9. Unemployment and poverty. Ahh, yes. The fruits of unfettered capitalism, brought to us by the Bush administration.
10. Second Amendment. By whom? Obama has made it clear that we all enjoy the right to bear arms. This has always been religion for the right.
Finally, Mr. Molyneaux writes, “The goal of the Democrat
leadership is a Cuban style democracy. One Party, one leader, one
candidate, one correct vote. Strict control of the population by
a central state apparatus and we serve the government, not the
other way round.” I thought Karl Rove promised us one party. Who
worked harder than Tom DeLay to gerrymander this dream into
reality? As for Cuban-style democracy, you may have missed the
great move toward socialism instituted by the Bush administration
to try to keep the current financial crisis from turning into a
world wide depression.

ACORN’S HONEST SIDE
Re: Joseph Lawler’s
ACORN’s Unlikely Allies:
To be honest, simple embezzlement would be the best thing that
ACORN could do with the money they are given. Better that than
further their agenda of undermining democracy and promoting
leftist causes and candidates.

Sounds like Roush drank the Koolaid. Only mentions that EVERYTHINNG is that evil Bush and his administration. While I think that yes the Bush administration holds some responsibility for the housing crash because they did not daily scream about it from the rooftops, the Dems had their fingers all over this mess. The Democrats pushed the mortgages for those who could not afford them, pushed Fannie and Freddie (their personal campaign war chest and wealth generator) to buy and rebundle bad debt therefore encouraging more bad mortgages. Acorn demonstrated and intimidated banks into continuing this practice which spiraled out of control. All the while, Dodd and Frank said there was no problem and any criticism was Racist. All of our current economic woes can be traced directly back to efforts of Democrats and their corrupt allies pushing affordable housing. What a pile of crud. For Roush to blame the entire crisis on Bush is blatently ridiculously blinded by partisonship.

I like Palin and Jindal BUT Romney is showing the leadership that our party needs. He IS out there working very hard. Is his motivation his political future? Sure, but he agrees with conservative ideals...what’s wrong with that. There is no such thing as a Mother Theresa in politics. It looks like Romney is trying to build a network of loyalty and well as the beginnings of a ground force at a grass roots level. This is good. His ideas are new and conservative. This is what we want right? We want to rebuild the party. We want to tack the party back to the right a little. McCain tacked us too much to the left and as you all know, a Republican can't out lib a liberal. Lets stop the nit picking and get to work.

JFK once said "Life isn't fair", further proof how far his Democrat party has strayed. When ABC News reporter Gibson asked Sen Obama why he'd raise the capital gains rate when it produces less revenue, the reply was that it's "fair". Sen. Obama calls the US Constitution flawed because it doesn't mandate fair wealth distribution. His foreign policy would do likewise on a global level. Today's Democrats are Fairness Doctrinaire.

The Prowler is right on.
The Romney's have a long history of personal interest over party unity. (better to be the leader of a party that loses than not be a leader in a winning party) Thanks in large part to Romney MI ended up with Granholm as AG then Gov.

I don't know what kool aid d-l-wisz has been drinking, but as a Michigander and GOPer, Romney didn't "give us" Gov Granholm... that claim is pure fabric, mirrors and smoke.
Granholm won Michigan because she ran against a tired, worn-out, ineffective GOP campaign structure Posthumus inherited and embraced from former Gov Engler. She won because, as a Democrat, she ran to the center and right of her Party and appealed to independents, swing voters and moderate GOPers who had been shut out of GOP politics for 12 yrs by the social conservatives inside the Party. She ran a great, near flawless campaign.
No Romney caused Granholm to be elected --that claim rests with a tired political machine Engler turned over to Dick Posthumus and he wasted... over and over.
